🌻 It is an honor to welcome Kirstie Simson for the first time at Kontaktland.
Her 4 days intensive will be an opportunity to immerse into her work.
Appart of her teachings, Kirstie will offer showing of 2 films and a performance of her recent solo.
There will also be talk about the importance of embodied intelligence in these times.
🍃 Dance Improvisation Practices that offer Resilience and Support in Difficult Times
In this workshop Kirstie shares the movement practices and underlying philosophies she has developed over forty years of her committed involvement with dance improvisation as a ‘life-practice’ that has helped her negotiate life’s ups and downs. Integral with the physical practices she will elucidate how she views embodied practices as vitally important for developing the resilience to face into and respond to the challenging times we are living through. Having gone through recent life-threatening illness herself, Kirstie draws first hand on how grounded dance practices can guide and sustain us as we face into life’s greatest challenges, and the life-affirming health benefits they offer us.
This is a rare opportunity for participants to delve deeply into the wisdom embedded within embodied practices, both in the studio space, as well as the possibility to explore movement scores in the natural environment. Kirstie will facilitate her work, guided by her own depth of bodymind-knowledge gleaned over the years in which she has pursued a dedicated practice of deep listening and inquiry, centered in the essential importance of life-affirming embodied knowledge.
